A POCSO court in Bundi sentenced a 22-year-old man to life imprisonment today for raping a five-year-old girl in the district four years ago.
Special judge of POCSO court Deepak Dubey sentenced Shivraj Kavet (22), a resident of Gamach village under the Keshoraipatan police station in Bundi district, to life imprisonment for raping the minor daughter of his neighbour, Special Public Prosecutor Mahendra Kumar Sharma said, adding that the court also slapped a penalty of Rs 5,000 on the convict.
